Chapter Eleven

---------------------------------------

For AJ, Saturday hadn't come soon enough. But now that everyone was ready to rehearse, it was going by to fast. They had arranged every ones position in the band.

AJ was lead vocals and lead guitar.

Envey was background singer and keyboard/piano.

Josh and Anndy did guitar.

And Anndy's friend Leon did drums.

Leon Gray was Valerie Gray's son. Anndy and he had been friends ever since kindergarten.

"So what song we doing?" asked Anndy

Everyone was sitting on the stage, some in chairs, some just sat on the floor.

"Well, we need something Avy Jade can sing", said Josh playfully.

Her eyes flashed dark blue at Josh; he smiled.

"How about The Girl Next Door by Saving Jane", suggested Envey.

"I love that song", AJ replied.

"Do you sing it pretty good?" asked Anndy

She looked at him and raised her eyebrow, "Let's see", she said smiling.

Everyone got their instruments ready, and got into place. Anndy started.

----------------------------------------------------------

"That was fun", said Envey.

"Yeah, it was a blast", replied AJ.

The group had been rehearsing for most of the day, and was now packing up all of the equipment and instruments. Envey and Josh were secretly growing happier. AJ and Leon had talked a lot through out the day, especially lunch.

There seemed to be a growing connection between the two.

Envey and Josh knew that maybe Leon could break the link between AJ and Evan's death. You could say that a heart can sometimes be depicted as a puzzle. Sometimes other people hold the pieces that you need. And once you get that piece, the puzzle is put back together and is completed.

When Evan died, a piece of AJ's heart was torn away. But maybe, just maybe, Leon could be that missing piece. If so, AJ's heart could be put back together and completed.

Once all the stuff was packed up and put away behined the stage curtain, everyone grabbed their stuff and headed out the door. The janitor would lock it later.

As they all streamed outside, they decided to go to the trios house and order some pizza for dinner.

"AJ can I talk to you?" asked Leon

"sure", she replied.

The other three noticed the private conversation and walked down the street a little bit.

"Um…I", Leon stuttered, rubbing the back of his neck, "I was wondering if you…would like to go to the dance with me?"

AJ's heart seemed to stop. The words move on swarmed into her ears.

She bit her lip, "Can I think about it?"

"Hey, its better than no", he replied, laughing a little.

AJ smiled; Leon smiled back.

The five started their way to AJ, Envey, and Josh's house.

The sky was once again cloudy. Snowflakes drizzled down, coming to rest on the town below. The weather would make it unbearable for anyone without a coat, and it caused the group to wrap themselves up tighter. But as AJ walked next to Leon and the others, she felt uneasy. She felt like something was following her…

…something far from friendly.
